“Amazing cottage”

Stayed here for a long weekend with friends and it was such a lovely place to stay. The whole cottage is very clean, the kitchen is well stocked. The underfloor heating in the bathroom is awesome. The outside area is very cool too. The hot tub was so much fun, it was super clean too and had the best view! 100% recommend staying here.

“A beautiful property with an amazing view.”

The cottage was spotless when we arrived and very well equipped. The log burning stove made it feel very cosy and we loved the deep, roll top bath. The owners were extremely pleasant to deal with and made some great recommendations for places to eat - we even managed to get a curry delivered to our door! There is a beautiful walk right at the back of the property which was perfect for the dog. The whole area is beautiful with plenty to do and everywhere we went we (and the dog) were made very welcome.

“Absolutely loved our break at Far Stones Cottage!”

The accommodation is brilliant, so cosy and comfortable. We had a perfect holiday and thoroughly enjoyed the area, so many walks for us and the dog. Lovely little touches like milk in the fridge when we arrived. Couldn't recommend enough!

“The owners got in touch well in advance with some helpful info, and left us chocolates to welcome us to the cottage.”

It was exactly as described and I would highly recommend it. We had a lovely, peaceful weekend walking around the local area and relaxing in the hot tub on the evening. Perfect.

We were there in middle of winter but cottage lovely and warm. Lots of walks in the area and lovely towns and villages nearby. We'd definitely recommend this cottage and hope to return soon.

“Gorgeous, welcoming cottage - a hidden gem in Haworth!”

We loved this cottage! It's so cosy, picturesque and welcoming. Will and Helen were really lovely, and even though they lived opposite the cottage, we never felt like our privacy was invaded, and felt better knowing we could call on them if we needed anything. Four of us (and a baby) stayed here, and there was adequate room. The upstairs bedroom was a great size with a separate living/dressing area, and although the second bedroom was fairly small, it was cosy and comfortable. The welcome pack that was left for us was unexpected and a lovely touch, and you really feel like you're getting such value for money here. We felt like the dogs were very safe as it was a quiet and enclosed area, and we didn't need to put them on leads to walk them up the hills surrounding the cottage. (Helen even gave our little pooch a grooming session which was so convenient!) The only thing I'd suggest would be a few more glasses and wine glasses (maybe some champagne flutes for the hot tub?) as we felt we were having to wash up a bit more than usual, but it's only a minor complaint!
The hot tub area was gorgeous, it was very clean and just heavenly to sink in to after some cold country walks. We're definitely coming back when it's a bit warmer to take advantage of the bbq in the summer! Thanks Helen and Will, we'll be back soon.

The property

This is a superb converted detached barn with a hot tub which is situated in the grounds of the owner’s home, in a beautifully quiet and peaceful location near the pretty village of Oxenhope.

Ideal for a tranquil break away, this beautifully-appointed cottage is situated on high ground, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, with every room overlooking the valley to the hills beyond.

Inside, the open plan accommodation offers an open-beamed ceiling, a sitting area, comfy sofas, a well-equipped kitchen and a large dining table.

There is even a welcoming woodburning stove to warm you up on chilly winter nights, after a day’s activities in the Yorkshire countryside.

On the ground floor there is also a double bedroom and a luxurious bathroom with underfloor heating, complete with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

Upstairs you will find the spacious master bedroom, which also has an adjoining open plan dressing area with spectacular views where you can catch the sun setting over the hills.

Outside, the spacious decked area is a perfect spot to catch the sun or unwind at the end of the day, whilst barbecuing or sipping a cooling drink.

The inviting
hot tub is just perfect for soaking tired legs, whilst taking in the magnificent views.

There are plenty of delightful walks from the doorstep, across the hills and valleys in the Yorkshire countryside.

If you are feeling energetic, why not take the footpath outside the cottage, over the hills to Hebden Bridge to enjoy the independent shops, bars and restaurants?

You can then catch the local bus back to Oxenhope, which drops you off at the bottom of the lane to the cottage.

For a more leisurely walk, the cottage is only ten minutes from the local pub and village shop.

Nearby Haworth, formerly the home of the Bronte sisters has much to offer, including shops, restaurants, regular festivals and a steam railway.

The market town of Skipton is within easy reach, with its cobbled streets and delightful castle, whilst further afield is the Victorian spa town of Harrogate, boasting fabulous shops, an excellent theatre and the Royal Pump Room Museum.

This is a superb holiday cottage, perfect for visiting the Yorkshire Dales and surrounding area at any time of the year.

About the location

OXENHOPE

Haworth 2 miles; Hebden Bridge 6 miles; Skipton 14 miles.

The small village of Oxenhope lies amid wonderful scenery, and offers the chance to take advantage of the multitude of walks in the area. The village, with its shops, churches and pubs, is home to the terminus for the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, an authentic steam railway brought to prominence in the film The Railway Children, which runs on a regular basis to Haworth and on down to Keighley. The area was made famous by the Bronte sisters, and the outstanding countryside was famously described in the novel Wuthering Heights as wild, rugged and barren. The area abounds with popular places to visit; the cobbled streets of Haworth, the Bronte Parsonage Museum, East Riddlesden Hall, and the Museum of Rail. The market town of Skipton, known as the Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, is a short drive away, and also within reach are elegant Harrogate and vibrant Leeds.
